Method Detail

setSessionContext

Set the associated session context. The container calls this method
after the instance creation.

The session bean instance should store the reference to the
context object in an instance variable.

This method is called with no transaction context.

Parameters:

ctx - A SessionContext interface for the instance.

Throws:

EJBException - Thrown by the method to indicate a failure
caused by a system-level error.

RemoteException - This exception is defined in the method
signature to provide backward compatibility for applications written
for the EJB 1.0 specification. Enterprise beans written for the
EJB 1.1 specification should throw the
javax.ejb.EJBException instead of this exception.
Enterprise beans written for the EJB2.0 and higher specifications
must throw the javax.ejb.EJBException instead of this exception.

ejbRemove

A container invokes this method before it ends the life of the session
object. This happens as a result of a client's invoking a remove
operation, or when a container decides to terminate the session object
after a timeout.

This method is called with no transaction context.

Throws:

EJBException - Thrown by the method to indicate a failure
caused by a system-level error.

RemoteException - This exception is defined in the method
signature to provide backward compatibility for enterprise beans
written for the EJB 1.0 specification. Enterprise beans written
for the EJB 1.1 specification should throw the
javax.ejb.EJBException instead of this exception.
Enterprise beans written for the EJB2.0 and higher specifications
must throw the javax.ejb.EJBException instead of this exception.

ejbActivate

The activate method is called when a stateful session bean instance is activated
from its "passive" state. The instance should acquire any resource
that it has released earlier in the ejbPassivate method.

This method is called with no transaction context.

Throws:

EJBException - Thrown by the method to indicate a failure
caused by a system-level error.

RemoteException - This exception is defined in the method
signature to provide backward compatibility for enterprise beans
written for the EJB 1.0 specification. Enterprise beans written
for the EJB 1.1 specification should throw the
javax.ejb.EJBException instead of this exception.
Enterprise beans written for the EJB2.0 and higher specifications
must throw the javax.ejb.EJBException instead of this exception.

ejbPassivate

The passivate method is called before a stateful session bean instance enters
the "passive" state. The instance should release any resources that
it can re-acquire later in the ejbActivate method.

After the passivate method completes, the instance must be
in a state that allows the container to use the Java Serialization
protocol to externalize and store away the instance's state.

This method is called with no transaction context.

Throws:

EJBException - Thrown by the method to indicate a failure
caused by a system-level error.

RemoteException - This exception is defined in the method
signature to provide backward compatibility for enterprise beans
written for the EJB 1.0 specification. Enterprise beans written
for the EJB 1.1 specification should throw the
javax.ejb.EJBException instead of this exception.
Enterprise beans written for the EJB2.0 and higher specifications
must throw the javax.ejb.EJBException instead of this exception.
